Just Be Yourself

Just Be Yourself

Not everyone needs hours of time alone, but everyone needs his or her own personal balance between engagement with the world and engagement with self.

You need to spend as much time with others as possible, in order to understand them better. You also need some time with yourself, in order to understand yourself better.There is a time and a season for everything. The same seed which sprouts when planted in the spring, withers when planted in the fall.

Being yourself, your true self that nature intended you to be, requires a lot of work. It requires that you first remove all the doubt and fear you have, for when you have fear and doubt then you are not being yourself. It means removing all guilt you have: guilt of hurting other people, guilt of doing something wrong.

Hence, "just be yourself" means to remove all bad emotions you carry inside of you so that you see your true self, and when that happens you become more attractive to yourself.

Timeliness is the weapon of the worldly wise and the stumbling block of the fool. A fraction of a second between the pulling of two triggers makes the difference between life and death. After you know the what and the how in anything, you still must learn the when.

I admit it. I’m the type of person who loves alone time. Don’t get me wrong– Not everyone needs hours of time alone, but everyone needs his or her own personal balance between engagement with the world and engagement with self. There are reasons to end perpetual busyness and make no excuses for privacy and solitude. My solitude over period of time has become a platform for‘Spiritual Evolution’; and has also given me opportunity to take up creative pursuits. I am alone for so many years but being ‘alone’ does not amount to loneliness. I get more space and time to internalize things. I am more focused and can afford to be chronically ‘politically incorrect.’

“Life is a great checker-board. The player opposite is Time.” If you hesitate you will be wiped off the board. If you keep moving you may win. You may be shocked if you keep accurate account of the Time you waste in a single day.”

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.

I consider solitude a positive state, necessary to remain sane and healthy. If you’ve been super busy taking care of everyone but yourself, this ‘blog’ outlines the importance of putting alone time at the top of your everyday priority list. Achieving your goals, making space for all kinds of good stuff to come in, and taking focused action on what’s most important requires significant amounts of alone time. It’s only when you create space for solitude that you can reflect on your own inner desires, set new goals, and discover your courage to pursue personal dreams. However, so often I hear people refusing to give themselves permission to give themselves alone time, even when they are exhausted. They place a higher value on being busy, being productive, and taking care of everyone but themselves. They feel as if spending time alone is a guilty pleasure that they are not deserving of giving themselves.

The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune. ~Boris Pasternak

The right thing, done at the wrong time, is the wrong thing to do. A birthday greeting delivered a day late is worse than worthless. There are indisputable reasons you need to “Just Be Yourself”, the reasons are:-

Re-Create Yourself

Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define it for you. Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions— your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.

Time to Rediscover Self and Re-set Urgencies

You may agree, people often want to accomplish big important things in their personal lives…like achieving a fit and healthy body, overcoming an addiction, writing blogs, or beginning a new self-based business. But one of the top reason that stop them from achieving their goals is an inability to put themselves as a number one priority in their everyday lives. Deciding to spend time alone each day is an important step toward recognizing the value of putting self as a priority.

Bring Back Your Desire for Life

It is impossible to abolish either with a law or an axe the desire of men.”You may be wildly busy in your life, but are you joyfully taking action on your most important dreams? It’s easy to push your personal goals to the back burner and think you’ll get to them tomorrow, next week, or next year. Unfortunately tomorrow never gets here. Each day becomes a repeat of the previous day. Living in a repetitive rut results in boredom and diminishing joy. To bring back your hunger for life, spend some time alone each day focusing on new experiences that would allow you to grow and branch out beyond the ho-hum of everyday living.

To bring your dreams or personal goals back to the front burner, take a few minutes of alone time each morning and ask yourself these questions:

a). What is really important in my life today?

b).What can I do to nurture the core central relationships in my life today?

c).What is one action I can take on the dream that is most significant to me?

Time to Release Stress Levels

The growing stress in our lives is receiving increasing attention from people today. Stress happens when we believe that we do not have the time, experiences, or resources to deal with a challenge or situation. Feeling pressured and anxious about a perceived unsolvable or impossible situation, our bodies release adrenaline and gear up for a fight or flight response to handle the immediate danger. Taking a few minutes of alone time to breathe and calm down helps bring new perspective that while the situation at hand may be undesirable, it is not a life or death situation. With relaxation comes a new ability to be at ease with you. And with ease comes the ability to tap into inner resources, grasp valuable insights, and find new innovative, creative solutions.

Just be yourself

Jesus says, “Just be yourself, in pure ordinariness. Don’t try to becomeextraordinary.”Tak- ing time alone creates space to relax, clear out the world, and be with no one else’s feelings but your own. By stepping away from all the outside noise and busyness, you allow new opportunity to clear confusion and sort out your emotions and feelings. Once our head is clear, you can take the time to explore what you truly believe.

Be Independent

Although endowed with qualities and such abilities that enable most people to stand alone, to be free and independent, the majority choose to be leaners and depend on others. We tie ourselves down with so many self-imposed limitations that eventually we even let others do our thinking for us. A person who leads a self-reliant life is able to think for him or herself rather than meekly accepting other people’s ideas.

- “Better late than never” is not half so good a maxim as “Better never late.”
